In order to detect and prevent accidental leakage and intentional
exfiltration, traditional data leakage prevention technology is designed
to monitor critical business information in transit. IP360’s new data
leakage prevention coverage allows customers to monitor their network
for the applications most frequently used for data exfiltration,
dramatically reducing the probability that sensitive data will leave the
network.

Data sharing and storage applications are difficult to block because
they may dynamically change ports or change protocols and many
applications can be configured to evade intrusion detection systems.

“Data leakage prevention tools focus on data in motion – that’s like
trying to catch a bullet in flight,” said Tim Erlin, director of IT
security and risk strategy for nCircle. “It’s important, but it’s late
in the cycle. It’s much more efficient to dramatically reduce the
probability that data can leave your environment unintentionally by
closely monitoring the applications used to move it.”
